The Environmental Studies Bachelors Degree at Ohio Wesleyan University is your pathway to understanding and addressing the complex environmental issues that define our planet. You will explore how interdisciplinary factors from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities intersect to create environmental challenges, and how these connect to critical social and political concerns. This program is designed for students eager to develop skills in conceptualizing complex connections and engaging in real-world problem-solving, bridging global environmental concerns with local realities.
This full-time, on-campus program, typically completed over four years, immerses you in engaged projects that put theory into practice. You will develop essential skills through core requirements like Introduction to Environment & Sustainability and Ecology and the Human Future, alongside quantitative and social science units. A significant independent project, culminating in your senior year, allows you to delve deeply into a chosen area. You will graduate with a robust understanding of environmental ethics, geospatial analysis, and sustainability, prepared for careers in conservation, policy, research, and environmental advocacy.
